> EmailValidator documentation specifies following regular expression to
> validate email addresses:
> {noformat}
> \\b(^[_A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@([A-Za-z0-9-])+((\\.com)|(\\.net)|(\\.org)|(\\.info)|(\\.edu)|(\\.mil)|(\\.gov)|(\\.biz)|(\\.ws)|(\\.us)|(\\.tv)|(\\.cc)|(\\.aero)|(\\.arpa)|(\\.coop)|(\\.int)|(\\.jobs)|(\\.museum)|(\\.name)|(\\.pro)|(\\.travel)|(\\.nato)|(\\..{2,3})|(\\..{2,3}\\..{2,3}))$)\\b
> {noformat}
> but the actual implementation uses following regular expression:
> {noformat}
> \\b(^['_A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.['_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@([A-Za-z0-9-])+(\\.[A-Za-z0-9-]+)*((\\.[A-Za-z0-9]{2,})|(\\.[A-Za-z0-9]{2,}\\.[A-Za-z0-9]{2,}))$)\\b
> {noformat}
> which is wrong, because this email address "aaa@aa.aaaaaaa" is being
> validated as a correct email address (I experience this issue in client side
> validation).
> The (more?) correct regular expression should be probably the one specified
> in the documentation, but care needs to be taken of the apostrophe for the
> front part of the email address as well. The resulting regular expression
> might be something like this:
> {noformat}
> \\b(^['_A-Za-z0-9-]+(\\.['_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@([A-Za-z0-9-])+((\\.com)|(\\.net)|(\\.org)|(\\.info)|(\\.edu)|(\\.mil)|(\\.gov)|(\\.biz)|(\\.ws)|(\\.us)|(\\.tv)|(\\.cc)|(\\.aero)|(\\.arpa)|(\\.coop)|(\\.int)|(\\.jobs)|(\\.museum)|(\\.name)|(\\.pro)|(\\.travel)|(\\.nato)|(\\..{2,3})|(\\..{2,3}\\..{2,3}))$)\\b
> {noformat}
